Sorry for what you are going through and understand your feelings about doctors' appointments.

Were you treated for Lyme after the bullseye rash? If so with what and for how long?

Have you looked into POTS? https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/postural-orthostatic-tachycardia-syndrome-pots

Those nasal sprays can speed up your heart and even cause palpitations. Ditto decongestants. Try to use nasal steroids like Flonase instead.

I was never treated, have attempted multiple times to wean off the afrin with failure, attempting again right now because I hate being dependent on it, unfortunately flonase and even prescription steroidal sprays dont help me at all, I'll be trying cromolyn next since its almost certainly a mast cell issue.
I asked the urgent care about POTS but they weren't sure and didnt persue it.
